Attach Files and Auto-Link Related Jira Issues
A designer attaches a spec to an Asana task. Notis uploads it to Jira and automatically links it to related issues, so the full context flows through.
Trigger
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Action
Link Issues
Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.
Why this helps
Specs and files arrive in Asana but developers in Jira don't see them. When they do, related issues aren't linked, so context fragments across multiple tickets.
- Centralize all context—attachments plus related issues in one place
- Developers see the full picture without hunting across tickets
- Reduce context loss in handoff from design to dev
- Strengthen issue relationships by linking automatically
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up both integrations in Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a file is attached in Asana, add it to the Jira issue and link it to any related issues (e.g., duplicate, blocks, relates to).' Define which issues to link based on title matching or tags.
- 3Set trigger to 'Attachment Added to Task' and select your notification channel.
- 4Attach a test file to an Asana task and verify it appears in Jira with related issues linked.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which issues are related?
You tell it in your prompt: 'Link to issues with similar titles or tags' or 'Link to the epic this story belongs to.' Notis searches Jira and creates the connections.
Can I control which link types are used?
Yes. Specify in your prompt: 'Link as duplicates' or 'Link as blocks' or 'Link as relates-to.' Notis applies the correct link type.
What if the related issues don't exist yet?
Notis can create them or skip linking if they don't exist. You define the fallback behavior in your prompt.
Does this work for large files or video?
Yes, for most formats. Jira has file size limits; if a file exceeds them, Notis will notify you and you can adjust the automation or upload manually.

Asana triggers
Jira actions

Add Attachment
Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.
New Comment on Task
